CALYPSO (ΚΑΛΥΨΩ)
-Dakoutros Glass Bottom Boat Cruises
Built in 1994 (age 31). Registered in Piraeus. Current line: Santorini-Nea Kameni-Palaia Kameni-Thirassia
The small passenger ship CALYPSO was built in 1994 in Greece, for the joint venture of the Greek company Dakoutros Brothers, in order to operate for their Glass Bottom Boat Cruises brandname. Dakoutros Brothers also operate Dakoutros Brothers Cruises (which has several traditional wooden ships) and Dakoutros Speed (a subsidiary operating small high speed craft-these being the IOANNIS D, the PRESTIGE, the FANTASIA, the PELAGOS, the TAXIARCHIS D, the ELEFTHERIOS D, the THEOSKEPASTI, the KALLIOPI, the MEGA STAR and the SEA STAR). Due to being the largest glass-bottom ship based on the Santorini Archipelago on the Cyclades, she is therefore being a popular ship for tourists that visit the region. She operates on the Santorini-Nea Kameni-Palaia Kameni-Thirassia line, while also occasionally helping to transport passengers from the cruise ships to the various islands of the Santorini Archipelago.
